About
So what makes <i>this</i> Thin Lizzy compilation special? For starters, it contains the posthumous title track. The band got back together five years after Phil Lynott’s untimely 1986 passing to finish a song that he'd started. Lynott had recorded a demo for “Dedication” in 1985 on an old eight-track; he sang and played bass. In 1991, Scott Gorham and Brian Downey added guitar and drum parts, and it sounds like they played to the best of their ability here. The anthemic “Dedication” bookends this collection—and gives deep insight to the greatness Thin Lizzy might have achieved had Lynott triumphed over his demons. The rest of <i>Dedication—The Very Best of Thin Lizzy</i> delivers a generous offering of 17 other songs, mostly harvested from the band’s earlier catalog. The full version of “Whiskey in a Jar” opens, setting the stage for such fan favorites as the smooth “Dancing in the Moonlight” and the definitive version of Bob Seger’s “Rosalie.”

Thin Lizzy compilation, promoted by the single release of the 'new' track Dedication.
"Dedication" was actually a track recorded by Phil Lynott's post-Lizzy band Grand Slam and subsequently overdubbed by ex-Lizzy members. The song co-writer Laurence Archer, was not credited on the single and later sued (successfully) for royalties owed.
Extra tracks on CD and cassette.
